A tremendous amount of speculation has resulted from the announcement of the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Critics have reacted sharply to his perceived unworthiness. Even devoted supporters have questioned his rather modest list of accomplishments. I review some previous winners. I also offer some explanations for bestowing the honor on Obama.

It is official, Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winning President of an unprovoked country, has launched an attack on, Libya, a Mideast country. So much for that moral high ground Obama and the Democrats claimed with the U.S. invasion of Iraq. So much for Obama’s “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” as predicted by the Norwegian Nobel Committee that issued Obama | Read More »

President Bush gives best speech of career, as he leaves office. | Read More »

President Obama accepted the ridiculous Nobel “Peace” Prize yesterday and gave a speech. Everyone with a clue, which leaves out those who worship The One or believe it was a good idea for the Nobel people to award this to Obama, knows that the Europeans were trying to influence U.S. foreign policy, especially as it relates to the War on Terror. But I don’t let | Read More »

On the occasion of Barack Obama’s acceptance of the honor, it is worth looking back to a little history. Theodore Roosevelt, the first sitting President awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, did not attend the ceremony, but sent a telegram. But TR gave a Nobel lecture in 1910 – two years after leaving office, four years after winning the prize for mediating the end of the | Read More »

Ah, this glorious new world where we’re no longer casually offending other nations with our actions. From noted British right-wing rag The Guardian: Barack Obama’s trip to Oslo to pick up his Nobel peace award is in danger of being overshadowed by a row over the cancellation of a series of events normally attended by the prizewinner.
